And how is that exchange of money for stock, digital currency different from apps like Fortnite

I don’t use Robinhood but I doubt you’re funding your account through the app? Shouldn’t it be a bank transfer/CC through their website?

You can directly fund you account in the app, no website needed.

I think the real answer here is that Apple considers a stock a physical good.
